| Is it poor etiquette to ask for specific gifts for a grad party?
I am graduating with two BA's in June. I leave the day of graduation for a month-long EMT course. I'd like to ask family members (who usually give money for b-days and Chirstmas) to give money toward paying for this course- however, the course has to be paid for over a month before graduation.
So when I send out invites to the grad party, do I explain about the course and ask people to send me money beforehand? Seems practical, but probably rude.
Do I say that I'd like money toward my EMT course, but not say when- I can just pay for the course on my CC and pay it back after the grad party?
Or do I say nothing about gifts/money, everyone gives me money anyway because it's what we do, and then use it to pay back my CC for the course?
